A prescription is required from your veterinarian before we can supply this product.
If this is a new prescription, to enable immediate dispensing, please ask the vet to send a copy of the prescription to us prior to mailing it.
If the original prescription is in your possession, then please upload this to your pet's profile in VetRx prior to mailing it.
Please note that we must receive either a copy of the prescription from the vet, or the original prescription before we can dispatch your order. This does unfortunately add to the order processing time, however this is a requirement placed upon all pharmacies by the Health Regulators.
Only once a conformant electronic prescription system is approved by NSW Health, will we be able to end the need for paper prescriptions.
